hi folks - new to listenbrainz but been sending data to last.fm for a bit. When I signed up to listenbrainz today it imported my last.fm data and as I've been sitting here tonight jamming away new tunes are getting pulled into it from last.fm. But when I go Explore > Fresh Releases > For you it says "oh no" and suggests that it needs more listens before it can prepare. Is this just a wait thing or

does data pulled from last.fm not function for that part of the site?
2025-09-04 24711, 2025

on dashboard it says I have nearly 5K listens listed.

ok cool just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything incorrect - I'll give it a few days to see if it can offer me any recommendations or suggest people with similiar tastes.

1. There is a band, which I think I've linked all of their songs possibly months ago. For some reason, in the stats they appear for the bigger part as linked (which is expected), but also appear unlinked for a few hundred listens (which is unexpected

Blastboom Strice: I think the first issue is the same as LB-1816 . If you could add your own example with screenshots and links to the page on that ticket it might be helpful.
Not sure what you mean by "the two words dont have the same characters", they look the same to me, but....

As for issue number 2, without a more detailed analysis (such as using elbisaur or alistral , two CLI tools made by the community) it's hard to know what could be different between the two. Do you have the same total listen count on both accounts?

When I copied the name of the group (where it appears unlinked), it did return listens. Thus I supposed some letters may be different or something (like a greek o maybe?)

Good question. Reading the code, they should be inserted as-is apart from removing a couple of fields, recording_mbid should be untouched

Turns out that now when I type the name of the group in "link unmatched listens" page it does return listens. I think this didnt work like a month ago when I had tried it, hmmm

Eitherway, I guess issue 1. is not an issue

Issue 2. though still is a mystery cuz if the importer does use the mbid of linked listens in the export json, then the listens per artist should be the same

I know that when you manually link a listen, that information is stored in a separate table in the database, so I suspect that when exporting your LB history the linked MBIDs might not be part of the exported listens.

I suppose it just adds my listens to my account letting the system automatically link them instead of the importer doing it itself

will probably make it a ticket as improvement, to allow (maybe on by default) for the importer linking the listens upon adding them using the mbid's provided
